On October 23, 1973, the MB-E1 from the aircraft manufacturer Heinrich Brditschka from Haid \/ Ansfelden took off on its maiden flight with its son Heino, the flight took about nine minutes and at an altitude of around 300 meters. After a few successful flights the tests were stopped, all that was left of the plane was the fuselage and a few archive pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Almost 44 years later, a student project at the Institute of Aviation<\/a> started under the guidance of Mr. Andreas Hinze<\/a>, teacher and head of the working group flight operations at the Institute. Together with 4 students Tom Bruchmann, Klaus Graf, Dominik Praxmarer and Jürgen Hölbling, a total of about 250 hours were spent between July and August 2017 to bring the original parts of the MB-E1 together with suitable aircraft parts from the Museum Graz Thalerhof, so that the MB-E1 was able to regain its original appearance from the first flight.<\/p>\n

This year, the 47-year “old lady” was once again led by a team of students Álvarez Mendoza Renato and Romero García José Alberto from Mexico, under the guidance and support of Mr. Markus Buchacher<\/a>, responsible for the workshop in the Institute’s aviation laboratory, to his last trip – to the Aviation Museum Graz Thalerhof<\/a> – and found her final honorably place in the hall at lofty heights.<\/p>\n

Such to the delight of everyone, an almost 50-year history ends up in probably the most memorable place – in an aviation museum on the doorstep – in order to be admired by all young and old flight enthusiasts in the future.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
